The ongoing global coronavirus outbreak is generally considered a Very Bad Thing, but here’s another bug that Singapore actively wants to infect people with: a jingle.

On Saint Valentine’s Day in the year of our Lord 2020, the Ministry of Education (MOE) thought that the best way to capture the hearts and minds of children is with a rap song with a lyrical flow that sounds like it belongs firmly in the ‘80s. Which is sort of mismatched when overlaid on top of a basic drum machine beat and lo-fi synth chords. 

I mean, of course, we’re not expecting a banger of a tune — Bye Bye Virus is an educational song that’s intended to inculcate hygienic habits in young kids. Steps like washing hands with soap and not touching your face (that’s how the coronavirus can enter passageways and infect the lungs) are valuable. 

MOE simply believes that a kiddy song-and-dance routine will help in the efforts against the outbreak.
